Critical Praise

"Dreamlike, disturbing, and at times very, very funny, Enter Sandman turns the stuff of Stephanie Williams's life into real and enduring art."

——The Boston Globe

"Stephanie Williams's strong and disturbing debut...will call up comparisons to Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones and Jim Crace's Being Dead. Enter Sandman starts out like chick lit, but as in The Bell Jar, after making you squirm for the ingénue protagonist it whacks you with a sucker punch of tragedy."

——Kirkus Reviews

"If Sex and the City had a heart, as well as a grin and an attitude, it would be Enter Sandman, written by Stephanie Williams. This is a funny and tragic and game book by a game and accomplished girl. Correction: A game and funny and tragic story written with style by a woman in full."

——Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of Deep End of the Ocean
